Wait...so I am supposed to go into an empty arcade and play million-year old games when amazing VR porn exists?

I did not. I WAS, however, the guy who would body tackle you if you jumped up on stage to do that shit for a number of years. It was kind of a highlight of the gig...some dumbass would jump onstage and didn't realize that there were multiple people watching them all the way up, calling dibs on who w...

Oh, I'm talking Seger, not Syd...but yeah, Mongrel is good. Should be up there with the Credence albums as far as known shit in the rock canon.

He doesn't do a lot of long-form interviews, but one I saw (I wanna say Bob Costa) he was saying how he felt everything happened at the right time for him, like, he hit when he had built the skills TO hit and the maturity to deal with it, and if it had happened earlier, he probably wouldn't have las...

I think Pink Floyd is a great example of a band that needed a few albums to hit their peak. Unfortunately, the business has changed and record companies are no longer willing to make an investment in artists that might need to experiment and develop, both in the studio and live, before achieving le...

R.O.C.K. in the USA (John Mellencamp): Frankie Lyman, Bobby Fuller, Mitch Ryder, Jackie Wilson, Shangra-Las, Young Rascals, Martha Reeves, James Brown. David Allen Coe's Willie, Waylon and Me namedrops Willie and Waylon of course, and Long Haired Redneck drops Hank Williams and Merle Haggard in there.

What you got against Obscured by Clouds?

Clean and empty are not the same things.

From Mr. Tillman by Father John Misty:

"Jason Isbell's here as well, and he seemed a little worried about you"

Jeez. I didn't know he was THAT loaded.

I would have asked for another $5 per time I worked on his guitar.

You ever see that like $6000 Les Paul that Gibson just kind of let him have for no reason?

Every time I walk up the stairs past 60 guitars in cases into the guitar workshop you live in, I always think to myself: "What a bastion of comfort and beauty this is" Your former boss liked it! 70 million dollars, and all he wanted to do was sit on the couch in my living room. He was alw...

I think it really says: "This tiny poster definitely exemplifies my personality more than the 2,000 square feet of nothing around it."

Are you gay?

Tsk tsk. This fucking century.

The straight-manliest thing you can do is to decorate for comfort, beauty and utility. Y'all gotta get hip to William Morris, Gustav Stickley and the arts and crafts movement.

I mean, I got rid of the shirts, but I do have gold and platinum records in my kitchen.

WILL TRADE FOR HOUSE.

Shitttt, I gave away all of my metal shirts. I had stacks of them.

If I had kept them, I would not be L.A. poor

I meannnn... it's a big place and that's just the kitchen . Normal people don't live in squalor, and at least he has a GNR poster on the wall. Everybody just needs to stop being poor so they can have a nice place like Mattley! I'm NOT poor, I'm L.A. poor. :lol: If I lived in upstate New York with m...

Why? What is the purpose of empty space? What function does it serve?

Oh, more empty space.

Dafuk is that supposed to mean? I did the video in the kitchen with phone on kitchen table Well yeah, but liiiike, there is nothing in that kitchen to say anybody actually uses it or has been in it. Shit is bare as fuck, including those bare-assed lightbulbs hanging from that bare-assed ceiling. If...

Dafuk is that supposed to mean?

Jesus christ. Does anyone actually live in your house?

It looks like the empty place a realtor shows you and says: "Sure, it looks barren now, but imagine how homey it will be with YOUR furniture and DECOR!"

It is like, 70% less lived-in looking that those fake rooms at IKEA.

Oh man. When I was a young, I thought that anybody who had a record out or a video on MTV was rich and just living the goddamned life. First band I ever met and hung out with was Metallica. It was such an eye opener...they were basically poor as shit at the time (RTL tour). I traded a fucked up guit...

I bet it was the idea that the hotel staff were OK with it. I don't know about you, but I have never seen some guy beat the shit out of his wife in public anywhere, let alone anyone just ignoring it. I haven't seen that, but the hotel security used to really knock around the girls who showed up or ...

No, it was a pretty good experience $$$-wise all around. The show was one of a series of all-in for $20 shows, then the glowsticks were free. I guess Barry has enough money and respects and doesn't need to gouge his fans UNLIKE SOME OTHER OLDE PERFORMERS WHO DON'T DO AS GOOD A SHOW AND PLAY WITH TAP...

The arguable highlight of the show was when they passed out glowsticks during Copacabana, and you had 10,000 moms all doing a disco rave.

Laaaamepussy. Barry Manilow is 80 years old and played 81 shows last year.

ALMOST.

Has anyone heard of similar culture clashes between bands and foreigners that went something like this?

I heard that Ace wouldn't go to Europe because a Dutch lady once told him he needed a bath.

Story checks out ...

It was actually Alex Van Halen....

I have a couple cameras...one for the area in front of my building, one for the entryway.
